The 2015 Academy Awards show was exactly what I thought it would be: few highlights, a scarcity of laughs, no surprises and one green card joke. What is supposed to be Hollywood’s greatest event is no longer special, and the blame does not fall solely on a tamed Neil Patrick Harris. When audiences remember more […]

I have spent the better part of 60 hours playing through Shadow of Mordor and still aching to go back to finish unresolved conflicts. The game’s real time mechanic makes the world feel alive. Any decision you make, anytime you die and anyone you kill can have profound effects on the story. One of the most […]

In order for the newly announced internet browser, codenamed Project Spartan, to succeeded on Windows 10, Microsoft will need shed Internet Explorer completely.

Microsoft is set to announce a number of new software updates and features at tomorrow’s BIG Windows 10 event. One of […]

Call of Duty is now free-to-play! That is, if you live in China. In a country where free-to-play MMOs dominate the gaming community, a game like CoD would also need to conform to that market in order to compete. There is however, in-game purchases via micro-transactions. I think what’s most notable about this game is its […]

Google’s Project Ara is a modular smartphone project currently its in early stages of development. If you’re in Puerto Rico, you’ll be able to get your hands on the device soon. For the rest of us, we’ll just have to wait for now. The idea is simple, you buy a module and then connect your […]

If you’re looking to sink a couple of hours into a video game, that will not only delight but possibly relax, then check out Monument Valley available for iOS, Android and Kindle Fire.

The new Acura NSX has been revealed at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show and personally I couldn’t be more satisfied with the final design.

Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. teased Godzilla with a tense first trailer back in December, and they’re upping the ante in the second preview.

While a good […]

The first trailer to Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy premiered on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight and it surely is…different.
